Warm Butternut, Feta and Pecan Nut Salad

Warm Butternut Feta and Pecan Nut Salad

It was my birthday yesterday and it was such a glorious day I tell you. Glorious because the sun was a-shining so brightly and so warmly and there was cake, chocolate cake. And did you know that on your birthday, you are allowed to have 3 servings of cake, with one serving being equal to one large slice. It’s true, one slice for breakfast, one for tea time at 3pm and one for after-dinner tea time. You did not know this?

But did you also know that if you follow that particular cake rule (above), the next day, which is today, needs to be full of salad and veggies?

It’s called equalising or equalisation. I’m well acquainted with this concept.


And because I’m still running here with the whole happy birthday theme, I thought I would share this bright and beautiful warm butternut salad with feta and pecan nuts. Doesn’t it just look like a happy salad to you? Yes. That is because it is a happy salad.

We should be happy eating it, because it is helping to equalise. Remember the equalisation people. Important concept.

What I love about this salad is that it all just comes together right there on your baking tray. Once the butternut comes out the oven, you literally add all the other ingredients and mix it together, and watch how the olive oil gently coats all the greenery and it starts to look oh so very purdy.

And because we are in between seasons right now, where winter still likes to remind us that it can throw a few cold days at us…like today (in Durban it is raining), this salad can be served warm or cold. So it is what I call a 365-salad. As in, it is suitable to serve 365 days of the year.

So here we go…
